Workplace Operations Manager

Qualifications

• 6+ years in workplace operations, corporate real estate, or facilities management, including direct ownership of multi-site operations and at least one office stand-up or major build-out delivered from the ground up.
• Hands-on project delivery experience in the UK and ideally the Middle East, with a working understanding of how landlord, fit-out, permitting, and vendor dynamics differ in Gulf markets from those in Europe, and enough lease fluency to read a document and know which dates and obligations matter.
• Real vendor and commercial management depth. You have scoped and negotiated services contracts, held vendors to service levels, and replaced ones that were not performing.
• The judgment to operate without a playbook. You are comfortable being the most senior Workplace person in the room, forming a recommendation on space, spend, and sequencing and defending it, rather than sending the question up.
• Prior experience at a high-growth technology company scaling internationally.
• Additional regional language capability, and/or hands-on work experience in the GCC.
• PLEASE NOTE: Our policy requires a 90-day waiting period before reconsidering candidates for the same role. This allows us to ensure a fair and thorough evaluation of all applicants.
